Our Promise

WE BELIEVE IN EQUALITY, TRANSPARENCY AND THE POWER OF EXPERIENCE

Our work is only possible because of the trust we’ve built with our donors and the communities we serve. Here’s how:

• 

  Equality

  We believe that every person in the U.S. has a right to clean, running water.

  We plan water projects that are locally-led, leveraging the unique experiences and resources of the communities they serve.

• 

  Transparency

  We believe transparency is the best way to inspire change.

  Thanks to dedicated donors who cover our operating costs, we send 100% of donations to programs that close the Water Gap in the U.S. and we let personal stories from real people guide our communications.

• 

  Experience

  We believe our water won’t last unless we learn to love it.

  We help people understand water's real value through digital storytelling and policy advocacy.

I believe every American has a human right to clean, running water.

I believe in an America where every family can clean their hands, bodies and homes.

I believe American families shouldn’t have to choose between buying clean water or putting food on the table.

I believe that tribal nations, rural communities and people of color deserve running water.

I believe young Americans shouldn’t have to drive to truck stops to use the bathroom or take a shower
